Minecraft Server Processor
Minecraft Server Processor
The Pentium E5400 at 2.7GHz dual-core can handle a Minecraft server for you and two friends, especially with 4-8GB RAM. It should run smoothly even without a graphics card.
It should work well with just that setup. I ran a Minecraft server inside a VM using one core at 2.6 GHz and 512MB RAM—it functioned mostly okay. Upgrading to a dual-core processor with 4-8GB RAM should be sufficient, provided you’re not using the PC for other tasks.
I think it likely includes an integrated GPU. My current system has a Pentium E5700 running at 3GHz and has unused hardware, but I'm curious about its own capabilities. Meanwhile, the upcoming machine will feature a 4690k processor, 16GB RAM, and a GTX970 or higher.
It's really affordable at a local store, only 3 euros, so that's fine. The game's lag is completely unacceptable.
Looking for an affordable case, power supply, LGA 775 motherboard, compatible RAM, and a 120GB hard drive shipped to Ireland with a total price below 100 euros.
Good luck with your shopping! Aim for under 100 euros, and consider exploring the area to spot discounts.
